First of all, I, like you, am predominately an anti-Spuffy writer. (I much rather prefer Spike with either Dru or Faith). But even as an anti-Spuffy writer, I really liked this fic. It really captures Spike's emotions, realization of his actions, and overwhelming guilt. And the final line was just perfect. Great job.

*sighs* I'll always be rooting for Spike & Dru, but this scene you wrote out is just heartbreaking. Having never caught this episode, I can still picture what happened and Spike's reaction. Very well written.
